I left a 3 star rating when I read this book 3 years ago but didn't write a formal review. I am marking the rating here to move this book off my shelf.

King Rafael finds out that he has a daughter with his former love Felicity and he plans to bring her home.

I felt this book was lacking. It needed a little more oomph, a little drama. I thought to be quite dull and found myself skimming pages, hoping to find something to grab my attention.

A secret heir, second chance romance, and a throne in question combine to give an entertaining story.
Ebook from netgalley and the publisher with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own words.

Raphael had to stay one step ahead of the the story that was threatening to break. He had a daughter that lived in America he never had met. All of this came as a surprise and trying to stay one step ahead of the referendum that could end the monarchy is exhausting. Getting to know Felicity and his daughter is the only thing that could make each day bearable. Great end to the series.

I read this entire trilogy in a weekend while I was laid up sick. All three books were sweet and enjoyable.

Pretty Great book!
I was pleasantly surprised to find this book a little different than most Billionaire books. I actually liked the characters and the flow of the book was well timed. I would recommend reading this book.

Leslie North is one of my new favorite authors, and this book did not disappoint. She has a skill with her writing that draws you into the story and holds onto you until its done.

Felicity became pregnant with the King's baby, but left out of fear of his mothers threaten's before the King even knew she was pregnant. She went to the USA and was a single mom and looked after her sister.

Before long news was given to King Rafael that he had a daughter, he had no idea, until now. King Rafael decides to go to the USA to see Felicity, and convince her to go back to Stolvanian with him. The story takes us on their journey and it is a roller coaster ride. I loved every second of it.

This is a sexy and steamy romance that is extremely well written. All characters are interesting, easy to follow and very well composed. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that loves a great romance.

I received ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Leslie North has done it again... another sweet romance perfect for readers who just want all the love and none of the negativity. The characters she creates are strong females and the males who stand by their sides no matter what. There is just the right amount of tension to keep the story interesting, and the romance is tasteful, making this another fun light romance perfect for an anytime read.

The third and final story in the European Billionaire Beaus, The Billionaire King’s Heir, is a second chance romance. I like the story and the characters and will read more by this author

Felicity thought her secret was safe that her daaughter, Hope, is heir to the Stolvenia throne. But then a newspaper leaks the story and now everyone knows—including Hope's father, King Raphael. Now she is trapped in her apartment surrounded by the media until Raphael shows up at her door. With the monarch in jeopardy of being abolished Raphael convinces Felicity to return to Stolvenia and marry him in name only.

I have now read a couple of Leslie North's books and - won't lie - now have a bit of girl crush!!

This romance was lovely and sexy - well written, loved the story and the characters with a very satisfying ending

Part of a series, I now need to go and search out the rest - a great summer read

this is my first book by this author and i really enjoyed it. fake to real relationships are always fun and their daughter is so precious. hooks you right from the beginning and i finished it before i knew it. great flow.

I wanted this book to really be good and exciting, sadly it was boring, awkwardly sexual and throw in some of the authors political leanings and you have a great book for somebody that is not me. It could have been good but it seemed to actually go out of its way to skip over parts that could have been used to make it better. DNF at the 50% mark sadly

Felicity thought about when she fell in love with Rafael, and wondered what it would have been like if they had stayed together. But now she knew- no privacy. She was the mother of a royal child, and the whole world now knew. The whole world had gathered around her small apartment she shared with her daughter Hope. The years of keeping Hope’s father a secret was over. The reporters were relentless and shouted question to her through the closed panes of the window. Felicity thought when rafael’s mother- the Queen- passed away fear would stop. She wouldn’t have to worry anyone was watching her. But she’d been so wrong. Her twin sister Joy who was disabled asked if felicity thought she should move . This was what Felicity could afford with her pay. When she wasn’t working she was with Joy or caring for Hope. She worked at Westwood Crossings with a human resources position. Joy would have helped but her disability payment barely covered Joy’s needs. Joy still suffered from the car accident from when they were nine. Rafael was going to Iowa to face Felicity and see his daughter. Family meant everything to felicity and she would do anything to keep them safe and happy. They were going to have to wait out they weekend but Monday Felicity had to go to work she couldn’t afford to be fired with money so tight a flat tire would blow up her whole budget. There was a knock at the door that is different from the reporters. She was drawn to the door and then she realized how quiet it had gotten outside than she saw it was Rafael at her door. Felicity let him in and then he saw his daughter , heir to the throne of Stolvenia. Hope wanted him to pick her up and he did. One minute he was a man, the next he was a father. It was almost like he's known her all along. Joy offered to stay with Hope so they could talk. They needed to formulate a plan. Rafael said he was sure his mother was forceful but why didn’t she come to him? Felicity said it seemed simpler to go along with it. She implied she discussed it with you, thay you were on board with everything she said. Rafael said there is going to be a referendum in Stolvenia. The people are going to decide whether to remove the monarch from power Now that the opposition has seized on his secret family -and the payments from the monarch to keep it quiet they’re trying to frame this as proof the monarch can’t be trusted. They needed to redirect this narrative. He also added Hope was going to need security . She has to have appropriate housing, a team of people ensuring her safety. Felicity said she didn’t have the money for a security team and rafael said he had a plan. He wanted her to come to Stolvenia with him as well as Joy. All she’d have to do is play a role for him. T carry on the charade they were in love and marry him.
I did love this book. Of course another great read from MS North so happy she keeps writing them and I get to read them. I loved Rafael and Felicity and of course Hope and how they interacted.Hope definitely added to this book she was so cute!!!! I loved how when Rafael first held her he went from a man to a father in seconds. I loved the closeness between Joy and Felicity and how devoted they were to each other. The only addition Ican think I would have liked in this book was a backstory for Rafael and Felicity - maybe at a future time -I can always hope. I loved how kate won the people of Stolvenia over to her even the reporters. I loved that rafael gave Kate a way out. I read this in one setting didn’t want to put it down. I loved the pace and plot. I loved all the characters -except the queen who had already passed away- and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend it.

This was sweet, romantic, sexy and a great all around feel good hea. I will definitely go back and read the previous books the the series.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

We finally get to see that the rumor from book one is true - and it was surprising that the normally calm and collected Kind Raphael is the one with the missing heir.

I think this is my favorite of all three books and loved to see that Raphael didn't wait to go see his daughter, Hope. When they all go back to Stolvenia, Felicity has her own struggles as she learns the protocol of being a queen.

After Raphael uses their dates as a photo op, you can see her frustration and wonder how they are going to make it! Little by little, Raphael relaxes just a bit, as Felicity progresses toward becoming an awesome queen.

The Billionaire King's Heir is the third and final book in Leslie North’s European Billionaire Beaus series. This is essentially a second chance romance with the King of Stolvenia finding that the woman he believed was his forever love, had been driven away by his interfering mother, while pregnant with his child.

Raphael for his part was somewhat hard to warm to, as his persona was very much focused on the drama surrounding a splinter group opposed to the monarchy, and the responsibilities and repercussions of the pending Referendum, while Felicity was a down to earth, everyday American just trying to make ends meet and juggle the demanding life of motherhood and family expectations.

I liked the plot and general storyline (even though there were few surprises), but often felt that found Raphael was too rigid and ceremonial in his ways. I must admit he did start to grow on me once his emotions became more involved and he was faced with some tough decisions about his family’s future and an eventual HEA was the final outcome.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is book 3 in a series, but reads well as a stand alone. If you like royal romances you will like this. It is a fun read. Not sure how the news got out that he had a daughter, when he didn't even know. Overall just an enjoyable read. 4 stars

A sweet Leslie North story. I love this kind of story. A Queen who basically blackmailed the future king's girlfriend to leave when she was pregnant. When the new king found out about it, he immediately went to her. The little girl is so sweet. I love her reactions to things. Rafael quickly took to being a father and that was sweet to watch. I liked how the struggles of becoming royalty and how Rafael finally acknowledged it. Very good book

A story about a love story that was derailed by the Princes mother. Year after his mother’s death, the prince is now a king and it comes to light that he king has a daughter. Will the King bring his daughter home? Will his daughter be raised by both of her parents?
